Background and record
Background. Cory Mills is an Army combat veteran of Iraq and Afghanistan (Bronze Star recipient) and a former defense contractor whose company supplied less than lethal munitions to law enforcement and military buyers worldwide. He represents central Florida from Daytona Beach to north Orlando suburbs.
Role in Congress. Mills sits on House Foreign Affairs (where he serves on the Europe subcommittee) and Armed Services.
Position on Ukraine. Despite his veteran credentials he has been Trump aligned on Ukraine aid, voting against the 2024 supplemental, but his combat veteran identity and defense contractor background give him technical fluency on the operational realities Ukrainian forces face.
Strategic Read. Frame asks in terms of his Foreign Affairs Europe subcommittee jurisdiction (where Ukraine policy is set), his combat veteran credibility on the soldiering reality of Russia's war on Ukrainian forces, his defense contractor familiarity with the equipment Ukrainian forces use and need, and a narrow Russia sanctions and accountability framing rather than direct Ukraine aid asks (which he has voted against).
Ukraine Record
- Voting record on Ukraine bills: 20.8% pro-Ukraine (5 pro, 19 anti, on 24 clean votes)
- Has voted for Ukraine aid, mixed on recent bills.
- Combat veteran background creates natural affinity for warfighter solidarity.
- His Foreign Affairs seat gives him direct authority on Ukraine policy.
Advocacy Playbook
- The Ask: Sign onto the REPO Act (S. 2918 / H.R. 5835), which uses frozen Russian assets to rebuild Ukraine, and the Sanctioning Russia Act (H.R. 2548). Use his Foreign Affairs and Armed Services seats for hearings.
- Why It Works: Combat veteran credibility. Warfighter to warfighter solidarity with Ukrainian soldiers. Lessons from modern combat. Russia as a persistent strategic adversary.
- Local Connection: Central Florida Ukrainian community. If you are an Army veteran, say so.
- Avoid: Framing this as charity or humanitarian aid. Lead with warrior solidarity and strategic necessity.
Without this bill, hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians who fled the war and built lives in the U.S. face deportation back to an active war zone. This is the single most urgent protection for Ukrainians in America.

Hi, my name is [YOUR NAME], a constituent from [YOUR CITY/ZIP]. I'm calling to urge Representative [REPRESENTATIVE'S NAME] to cosponsor H.R. 3104, the Ukrainian Adjustment Act of 2025. Hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians fled Russia's invasion and are now living in the U.S. on temporary status. They cannot safely return to an active war zone. H.R. 3104 gives them a path to permanent residency. It's bipartisan, it's targeted, and it's the right thing to do. Will Representative [REPRESENTATIVE'S NAME] cosponsor H.R. 3104? Thank you.
